Since when did Maxine Waters proclaim herself a socialist? Fox News? What a freakin' joke.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ce0512eab8eab676000028Tim WoodsSun, 16 Dec 2012 12:29:54 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ce0512eab8eab676000028

Maxi is one of the best liberals money can buy. I'm sure her husband and her are only trying to help low income people in the hood to get a mortgage they can't afford.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): Rep. Maxine Waters is one of the most senior and one of the most outspoken members of Congress. She is also one of the most corrupt.
In August 2010, an investigative subcommittee of the House Ethics Committee charged Rep. Waters with three counts of violating House rules and ethics regulations in connection with her use of power and influence on behalf of OneUnited Bank. She was expected to face an ethics trial in late 2010, but the committee delayed the trial indefinitely on November 29, 2010, citing newly discovered documentary evidence that may impact proceedings.
The delay apparently has less to do with evidence and more to do with infighting on the panel. Ultimately, an outside counsel was retained and a recommendation was expected by January 2, 2012. However, the Committee announced that the Waters probe will be extended until July 31, 2012.
According to The Associated Press, the charges currently under the House Ethics Committee microscope “focus on whether Waters broke the rules in requesting federal help [bailout money] for a bank where her husband owned stock and had served on the board of directors.” At the time she requested the help, Waters neglected to tell Treasury officials about her financial ties to OneUnited Bank.
Without intervention by Waters (and a big assist from her co-conspirator Rep. Barney Frank), OneUnited was an extremely unlikely candidate for Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funding. The Treasury Department indicated that it would only provide bailout funds to healthy banks to jump-start lending. However, Judicial Watch uncovered documents detailing the deplorable financial condition of OneUnited at the time of the cash infusion. In fact, just prior to the bailout, OneUnited received a “less than satisfactory rating.”
Aside from OneUnited, there was yet another scandal with Waters’ fingerprints all over it.
According to The Washington Times: “A lobbyist known as one of California’s most successful power brokers while serving as a legislative leader in that state paid Rep. Maxine Waters’ husband $15,000 in consulting fees at a time she was co-sponsoring legislation that would help save the real-estate finance business of one of the lobbyist’s best-paying clients…”
“Real-estate finance businesses,” such as the one helped by Waters’ influence, were labeled a “scam” by the IRS in a 2006 report.
Despite all of her ethical woes, Maxine Waters seeks to take over the retiring Barney Frank’s position as the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee. It is quite obvious that Rep. Waters has neither the integrity nor the ethics necessary to hold such a position of public trust.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cda0f66bb3f7da2300001aThat liberalSun, 16 Dec 2012 05:22:46 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cda0f66bb3f7da2300001a
Maxine is the best. She actually has no idea how the energy or banking industry actually operates but that doesn't stop her from her plan to nationalise all companies. <a href="http://youtu.be/o3I-PVVowFY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://youtu.be/o3I-PVVowFY</a>
As if the CEO of any oil company can just make gas at the pump less expensive. There is an international market for oil. Maybe somebody will tell her one day before she turns 82
Margaret Thatcher in the depths of pulling the UK out of its economic misery pointed out:
"Socialism is about spending other peoples money, until there is none left to spend".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cd4ed669beddb905000001dljenniSat, 15 Dec 2012 23:32:22 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50cd4ed669beddb905000001
And now we know why California is going broke and losing a lot of people. All the sane people are leaving the state.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ccc8a16bb3f7657700002cMillie CooperSat, 15 Dec 2012 13:59:45 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ccc8a16bb3f7657700002c

Combined IQ of the 10 is 132
Maxi waters is not only a liberal but a self identified socialist. Also, she has done such an exceptional job. All that time in congress and south central LA has been transformed into a desired destination (for gang members)
Amazing radicals like these people can stay in power so long.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ccb2da69beddd00f000015HattrickSat, 15 Dec 2012 12:26:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ccb2da69beddd00f000015
